Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1528698A1] A two-stage Roman amplifier provides a gain control compensating for span loss variations and changing channel loading. A first amplifier stage (S1) has a first amplifying medium (F1) and a first pump light source (P1, P2, Pn), which is controlled and adjusted by a control unit (CU) to compensate for span loss variations. A second amplifier stage (S2) has a second amplifying medium (F2) and a second pump light source (P'1, P'2, P'n), which is controlled and adjusted by the control unit (CU) to balance changing channel loading.
